Here’s the perfect soundtrack to a beautiful snowy day. Julianna Barwick is back to enchant us with a new ethereal piano based single called ‘Pacing’, and its own Pacing 7″ EP. In Barwick’s own words, the new song is “a bit of a diversion from the vocal loop-based songs I tend to make”.
The EP is slated for a March 5th release via Suicide Squeeze. It comes backed with B-side ‘Call’ and is limited to 750 copies, so hurry to order yours here.
With less than a month to go for Helado Negro‘s Invisible Life to drop, he’s keeping the excitement mounting. The talented and prolific musician is offering the new luscious single ‘Junes’ as a free download. Grab it and listen to it below.
Invisible Life arrives on March 5th via Asthmatic Kitty Records and can be pre-ordered here.
London trio The Invisible, a longtime favourite of ours, are re-releasing their outstanding self-titled debut album on February 25th via Accidental Records.
Other than the songs featured in the original album, the upcoming release will feature remixes from Matthew Herbert, Micachu, Kwes and Hot Chip and a bonus brand new track called ‘Into Me’. Stream it below and grab a free download of another excellent track off the album, ‘Constant’. Enjoy.
Here’s the beautiful opening title track from Portland based sextet Y La Bamba‘s new EP Oh February, released last Tuesday via Tender Loving Empire. The effort was produced by The Decemberists’ Chris Funk, who had already produced Y La Bamba’s 2010 debut album Lupon.
Oh February is a “a sultry cross genre dream accented by lush guitars, lively accordian and expert percussion” as the label describes, featuring “6 songs of mexi-influenced folk americana”.
Earlier in January, Y La Bamba dropped a video to accompany the marvelous cut ‘Michoacán’, lifted from their second album Court The Storm, out last year. Andrew Sloan directed it and you can watch it straight after ‘Oh February’.
London based producer Dean Blunt, who is also one half of Hype Williams, is set to release his debut solo album this Spring. The Redeemer will see the light of day on May 1st via his own imprint World Music and Hippos In Tanks.
The first cut to emerge from The Redeemer is the heartfelt ‘Papi’, a track where Blunt sampled Pink Floyd’s ‘Echoes’. Listen to it below.
